After the dry and dusty pages of positivism, how welcome it is to have a rich, state-of-the-art (or state-of-the-argument) guide for researchers to all phases of the naturalistic study of people in their social and cultural environment. The contributors examine the relevant histories, controversies, and current practices associated with each paradigm, strategy, and method. They also offer projections for the future--where specific paradigms, strategies, or methods will be 10 years from now. The volume is divided into six sections: locating the field; major paradigms and perspectives; strategies of inquiry; methods of collecting and analyzing empirical materials; the art of interpretation, evaluation, and presentation; and the future of qualitative research.
